      I still think they will win it in 6 or 7, but I wanted them to have a fast series, so we go into the next round healthy. Friday they will come out with the passion if they don't oh well. If the get beat they will have a new look next year. I will still be a Sharks fan!

        You feel good about that series? I think the Bruins can give them a good series.

          I think Boston can beat them, if they get bounces to go their way and Rask plays well. Not having Savard and a banged up defensive core is going to hurt though. I still think it'll be Boston in 6 or 7 though.

            I think so too. I like the Bruins. So I will root for them. Though I do like Buffalo. I like Miller and their Forwards.

              Yeah Miller is a beast, and they have some great players as well, Myers comes instantly to mind. At any rate it should be a good series and I'm eager to see how Rask handles playoff hockey. Seems Boston has a habit of screwing the Leafs. Rask, draft picks etc. heh

The Wings were the hottest team after in the league after the All-Star break and quite frankly they are more talented than Phoenix.
                  Detroit post-Olympics: 23-10-8, 54 pts.
                  Phoenix post-Olympics: 25-12-4, 54 pts.

                  And I won't deny that Detroit is probably more talented. Fact is though, proven goaltending counts huge in the playoffs. Howard is going to be an excellent NHL goalie for many years to come, but he doesn't have the big-game experience that Bryzgalov does.

                    I hate series that end quick, unless it's the Wings,lol. I just love watching the 7th game, nothing is more exciting in any sport.

                      Yeah they did. I don't know much about the draft picks, but that Hall looks like a good player. Though is he better than Kessel? I mean I know they didn't want to sign, but is Hall a better prospect down the road?

                        Half of those Phoenix wins after the break were skills competition wins though.

                          Kessel comes off to me as immature and selfish and he doesn't want to play in a system that's defense first heavy. While I haven't seen Hall play personally, I was pretty happy to be rid of Kessel and get a pretty good deal for him. Granted you never know if drafted guys will pan out either but I'm not worried about it considering how promising Hall sounds.

                              Howard may not have playoff experience but I disagree that he doesn't have "big-game"experience. When the Wings were still in jeapordy of missing the playoffs and fighting for a playoff spot, you could easily argue a lot of those were big and high pressured games. And yes I understand the playoffs are a different animal but he does have experience in what I would consider high pressure games.

                                Eh just how I feel about him, he didn't want to stay in Boston, he made it pretty obvious, so I won't say I'm sad to see him go. Good luck making the playoffs with the Leafs there Phill.
